The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Cotter Pin 1/16 x 3/4 designed for the BFS 1318AS and BFS 2020AS self-propelled walk-behind floor saws. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this cotter pin meets the exact dimensional and material specifications used in original production. Fitment covers both the BFS 1318AS and BFS 2020AS saw models, making it a straightforward drop-in replacement with no guesswork on sizing.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to the exact 1/16 x 3/4 specification, ensuring the pin seats correctly in its bore and the legs spread and lock as intended during installation.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Matches the original fastener used in BFS 1318AS and BFS 2020AS floor saws, dropping straight into the existing pin hole without rework or modification.
- Covers Key BFS Floor Saw Models — Compatible with the BFS 1318AS self-propelled walk-behind saw and the BFS 2020AS saw, covering both machines in this Wacker Neuson floor saw series.
- Secure Retention Under Vibration — A correctly installed cotter pin prevents shaft pins, clevis pins, and linkage hardware from backing out during the high-vibration cutting cycles typical of slab and floor saw operation.
- Safety-Critical Fastener — Cotter pins are the last line of defense against linkage and driveline component separation; using a correctly sized OEM pin is essential to keeping blade guards, drive assemblies, and control linkages properly retained during operation.
A cotter pin is a split fastener inserted through a drilled hole in a shaft or bolt to lock a mating component — such as a clevis pin, castle nut, or axle pin — securely in place. Once inserted, the legs of the pin are bent apart, preventing it from backing out under vibration or load. On floor saws like the BFS 1318AS and BFS 2020AS, cotter pins secure critical linkage, driveline, and adjustment hardware that must remain positively retained during cutting. A missing, bent, or incorrectly sized cotter pin can allow connected hardware to shift or disengage, compromising both saw function and operator safety.
